Possible Causes

Moisture ingress into touch panel, Loose ribbon cable between keypad and PCB, Failing touch sensor IC, Grease buildup on control surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before working on the control panel. Avoid using excessive liquid cleaners near electronics.

Steps to fix unresponsive controls:

  • Clean the panel: Wipe the touch control surface with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
  • Power reset: Unplug the unit for 10 minutes to reset the control electronics.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the front or top cover to access the keypad/touch panel ribbon cable. Ensure it is fully seated in the connector on the main PCB.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for signs of moisture or corrosion on the keypad board. If present, the panel may need replacement.
  • Replace control panel: If cleaning and reseating cables do not help, replace the Pro Breeze touch control panel assembly or the entire main control PCB, depending on design.

Warning: Do not spray cleaners directly onto the control panel; liquid can seep inside and damage electronics.
